Having spent a lot of extra time at home over the last several months due to Covid-19, I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen. I’ve been cooking dinners at home (not that that’s unusual for us), but I’ve also been experimenting with baking. My little helpers and I have made chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, and french bread a few times, and more recently we’ve tried blueberry scones and Irish soda bread. So when I started thinking of what would make a good roundup, I immediately thought of all the ways yarn can be used in the kitchen. We still use the pair of potholders I crocheted in college. (Though I could do with a new set–I have my eye on some of these patterns!) Whether you prefer knit or crochet, there are options here for you!
